Introduction
It is strongly recommended, even mandatory, to change the pads when changing the discs.
-
-
Raise the vehicle and secure it on jack stands. Wedge the rear wheel of the vehicle using a wooden block, for example.
-
Remove the left or right front wheel (one by one if no bridge like me). Here RIGHT wheel
-
-
-
Unscrew the top screw using the socket wrench.
-
Unscrew the bottom screw using the socket wrench.
-
-
-
Disconnect the wear sensor
-
Remove the caliper with the pads from the disc.
-
If you are just changing the pads, go directly to step #10
-
otherwise, hang the caliper from the shock absorber using a wire or electrical cable while removing the disc, so as not to pull on the brake hose.
-
-
-
Mandatory to remove the disk otherwise it does not come out, because it is blocked by this part.
-
Unscrew the two screws
-
Use a Facom extension, this gives more force and reduces the risk of stripping the bolts
-
Be careful, screws with thread lock are therefore a little more difficult to loosen.
-
Remove the caliper yoke (or caliper bracket)
-
-
-
Using a wire brush, clean the pad surfaces.
-
Do the same on both sides.
-
You can replace the new springs respecting the assembly direction
-
-
-
Replace the slides in the screed
-
Take care to put the dust covers back correctly
-
-
-
Remove the 12 screw holding the disc in place
-
Remove the disc
-
Use a hammer to remove the disc, tapping behind it as it is stuck by rust.
-
-
-
Using a wire brush, clean the disc area.
-
Apply thread lock to the 2 screws of the yoke.
-
-
-
Check that the new disc matches the old one before reassembly. For me OSCARO ref: BREMBO 09.8003.11
-
Reassemble the new disk
-
Screw in the 12 screw. It is just used to hold the discs in place.
-
Reassemble the previously cleaned caliper yoke.
-
Screw in the two screws (with thread lock) see step 8.
-
Degrease the disc
-
-
-
Check that the new pads match the old ones. For me OSCARO ref: ATE 13.0460-2863.2.
-
Open the brake fluid bowl before pushing the piston back.
-
Using a piston pusher, push the piston back by turning it clockwise.
-
otherwise, using multi-purpose pliers, insert the piston (carefully so as not to risk scratching the piston surface)
-
Reposition the caliper and the new screws supplied with the pads, start with the top screw, insert the two screws before locking.
-
Reassemble the new pads with the new metal supports.
-
Reconnect the wear sensor.
-
-
-
Degrease the disc if necessary. No grease on the discs!
-
Reassemble the wheel
-
Tighten the wheel nuts to the correct torque using a torque wrench.
-
Slowly pump the brake pedal to prime the circuit after refitting the wheel. Check the brake fluid level which should be between the minimum and maximum.
-
Do the same for the right side.
-
Purge if necessary.
-
Road test
-
It is recommended to perform a 500 km running-in period after replacing the discs and pads.
Avoid intensive braking to avoid warping the discs or glazing the pads.

Hello. No comments!!!! We rarely come across such explicit photos (arrows, colors, etc.) and such brief, simple and precise explanations. Thank you and congratulations, we can feel the professional side.

Thank you! Great tutorial, very well explained and illustrated.
I replaced my two front discs without any particular problems. However, be careful with the brake fluid. When pushing the pistons back it will come out of the reservoir. Remember to protect the area with a cloth and suck up the excess with a syringe.
To answer Jean François, I used blue thread lock (normal), I used a piston pusher purchased from Oscaro and the tightening torque of the studs is 100Nm, the same for the two tightening bolts of the caliper support.
Thanks again!
Hello,
-what type of thread lock should I use (normal or strong).
-do you have any tips on what tool to use to push the caliper piston back?
-what is the wheel stud tightening torque?
Thank you in advance and congratulations for your tutorial Jean-François
